Info

I am:

  • doing this project for school
  • I also want to play with golang and revel because it seems like fun
  • this project will have a vagrant box, soon to come :)

The Geological Time Scale

Geological Time Scale API

There is no api that I found with the same info on the above chart One of my goals is to make this a public api as well for people who may do this in the future I may make the first version from this text document I found on stratigraphy.org

It seems like it will be interesting to parse :)
